George Clooney’s Best Date Ever

And no, it’s not the First Lady, though he did sit next to her at the White House state dinner last night in honour of British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha.

George has been in Washington DC for the last couple of day lobbying the government for intervention in Sudan, insisting that the world is ignoring the atrocities happening there, specifically in the Nuba Mountains, and pleading urgently with Congress to help innocent civilians who are getting shot at, literally, with rockets.

Um, no. Stacy Keibler did not attend.

Instead, George’s DC constant companion, his date, if you will, has been John Prendergast. And they look great together, don’t they? Here they are, side by side, at the hearing where George wore a really, really lovely tie, and also arriving together at the President’s event in the evening.

Interestingly enough, whenever John Prendergast appears on this site, and it’s been several occasions, it’s in relation to dates.

If you’ve been reading my blog long enough, you’ll remember a book I highly recommended in 2009 by Jane Bussmann called The Worst Date Ever. Click here for a refresher. The Worst Date Ever is about Jane’s hilarious crush on Prendergast. Like a crazy bitch she followed him to Uganda. And that’s how I learned about Uganda. Never mind a social networking experiment, if you really want to know more about what happened there, you need to read this book.

George wrote and directed the video below that also includes Prendergast that was released yesterday. He saw it firsthand, he’s right in there, with the bombs, with the victims, asking questions, and learning.

PS. Please note, there is no suggestion in this article, no embedded meaning about secret relationships, nothing blind or riddley.
